An unlikely piece of equipment for use in Mosquito and Aquatic Weed
Control, the Section’s Pontoon Boat is actually employed in
still another facet of the operation: Marine Signage. This involves
installation and maintenance of waterway safety markers in the Hillsborough

The 24-foot Starduster is powered by a 75 horspower Mercury outboard
motor and has a draft of approximately 12 inches.
